Domain verification

Verifying domain ownership proves you control the site. Verified domains get priority monitoring and can appear on the public leaderboard.

Method: DNS TXT record

1
Go to your domain settings page and copy the verification token.
token
```
boringsec-verify-a1b2c3d4e5f6...
```

2

Add a TXT record to your DNS:

DNS record

Type:   TXT
Name:   _boringsec
Value:  boringsec-verify-a1b2c3d4e5f6...

3
Click "Verify" — we check DNS within seconds.

DNS propagation may take up to 24 hours. If verification fails right after adding the record, wait and try again.
